Every picture tells only half a story -- start one-minute journaling

Joanna%20Slan.jpgMany people liken my 16-page Tribute Books to scrapbooks with words, lots of words. Every picture tells a story, but they only tell half the story, according to scrapbook author and columnist Joanna Campbell Slan.  She recommends short but expressive journal entries or captions to capture a special memory. Many scrapbookers know this and are constantly looking for ways to make it easier and less time consuming. Slan shows how to capture stories as they're happening using simple one-minute journaling methods. She then shows how to get those stories onto album pages with a minimum of fuss and effort. For scrapbookers who don't like their own handwriting (me definitely!!), Slan illustrates several creative solutions using computer type, lettering templates, stencils and rubber stamps. To order her book, One-Minute Journaling/Scrapbook Storytelling, visit Slan's website at http://www.scrapbookstorytelling.com/
